Is Jon Jones fastest and quickest HW ever?

[Bork Neslar]

No, but he's the dirtiest.

 

[Contempt]

Also the speediest

possibly even the most rapid?

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Hell no, he's not fast at all. DC's fat ass is faster.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Hand speed.

Movement..

Distance covering .

Running..


Eating...


Striking ...

Live Decision Making

What are we talking about here? ..


Fastest and quickest can mean alot of things

 

[Westbrick]

Prime Cain

 

[GrantB13]

Not even....

 

[w00t]

No HW had the quickness like a prime Zulu

 

[PeterGriffin]

Prime-JDS would make both Gane and Jones look like they are wading in peanut butter.

 

[cburm]

Gane all his career was considered fastest HW ever, he move like a MW, but in fights with Jones in standing part they were equally fast, or maybe Jones was faster if you watch the fight. And it was PEAK Gane and PAST-PRIME Jones!!!
In Stipe fight Jon also was faster man, while Stipe always considered fighter with fast hands. Who from fast and present you could make the case above Jones in speed at HW? I only see Fedor, maybe Cain and Ngannou (hands)...

If Gane and Jones are 10/10, when for me
peak Fedor - 9,5
Cain, DC - 9
Ngannou,Asp, JDS, Reem - 8
Stipe -7

Jbj is the slowest and oldest yet he's still the best ..

 

[RockyLockridge]

God damn...another thread, AND you're still propping up Gane?

Just by looking at their size it is obvious that guys like Crocop and Fedor were faster in their primes.

Gane is awesome

Prime-JDS would make both Gane and Jones look like they are wading in peanut butter.

Gane beats prime JDS with ease

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Gane is awesome


Gane beats prime JDS with ease

High praise for a guy whos three big career wins are Derrick Lewis and two guys that Tom "he hasnt done anything yet why should he get Jon" Aspinall beat much more quickly and easily.

 

[gspieler]

Jones isn't particularly fast. He's lengthy, high iq, strong, well-conditioned, tough, good mobility, and has skill. But he only has slightly above average speed, IMO.

 

[gspieler]

Alex deserves a mention.

 

[Fight Professor]

Fastest AND quickest heavyweight?

He ran pretty fast in the Rampage fight.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

 

[flektarn]

No one in the history of Jones's career should describe him as the fastest. Excellent shot selection and fight IQ but when the fuck was he ever the fastest?

 

[Gregoire1]

How you can compare Gane vs JDS? Gane is miles faster!

 

[tritestill]

Jon looked slow wtf

 

[Neck&Neck]

Fastest at eye-poking

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

OP clearly did not rewatch the fight before posting because Gane appeared significantly faster than Jones.

Aspinall has the greatest peak speed but Gane can maintain his maximum speed for longer.

Jon honestly looks kind of slow at HW.
